Lori Schwartz: I'm normally a hop head but I tried the Shark Meets Hipster wheat IPA and loved it! Stuffed burger is also amazing as well as the gourmet fries
Billy Shepard: If you haven't been here what are you waiting for? Amazing food, drinks and service! Greg and and his staff don't disappoint! Oh and try the Shark Meets Hipster!
Kaitlin V.: attn IPA lovers: must try the Shark Meets Hipster.
Redeye Chicago: River North might be more mainstream than hipster, but this place feels effortlessly cool and utterly bohemian. Enhanced by the tropical cocktails, it’s a comfy spot where anyone can feel at home. Read more.
Dana Danielle: Boho hipster vibe with hand crafted cocktails! Dim lighting gives a very intimate vibe! Nachos are good if you want a snack. Located inside a hostel/hotel.
Damon Sununtnasuk: Super hipster ski lodge feel. DJ on the weekends and unique, affordable ($13) cocktails

Dive Bar · Ukrainian Village · 54 tips and reviews
Explore Chicago: The Rainbo Club, located in Chicago's Ukrainian Village neighborhood, attracts hipsters, indie-rockers, and others looking for cheap beers in a no-frills setting. Read more.
Jon Carcamo: The hipsters here make Williamsburg look like L.L. Bean
Dew Tour: Some say hipster dive...others say bohemian hideaway. We say pure awesome! Always a great scene at Rainbo
Pedro Fernandez: There's no crowd in the a.m. (9ish). Hipsters don't get up that early.
Elliot L: Great for hipsters who sit in circles on the grass, eat crepes and listen to folk music. Not great for a wide variety of inexpensive fruit and vegetables.
Zack Gilbert: Sunday mornings in Logan. Also referred to as Hipster Church. Best place to get quality produce, while supporting local farms.

Taco Restaurant · Wicker Park · 572 tips and reviews
Tammy Gordon: Loved the margaritas, guac, queso and fish tacos... I mean, what's not to love. (Unless you don't love hipsters)
Steve ‘Pudgy’ De Rose: This was the 'unofficial' find of CCBW 2012. For a hipster venue (w| bartenders playing vinyl LPs!), there is no condescension toward outsiders. A good array of craftbeers also.
Chicagoist: Don’t have hours to spare lined up on Damen? Head to the bar to order or avoid the hipster hordes altogether and opt for the to-go window. Read more.

The Feast: Do you like drinking whiskey and eating pork with hipsters at virtually any given point of the day? We'd like to introduce you with your new favorite restaurant.
David Strasser: A hipster bar with a michelin star. Everything we ordered was great, but the tete de cochon and Kentucky Fried Quail were particularly outstanding. Worth it.

Bar · Wicker Park · 155 tips and reviews
Itinerant ArtDirector: Crispy corn nuts, great beers on tap and a fantastic interior that's Hipster meets Hayward, WI. If you've been to the Moccasin Bar you'll know what I mean. If not, road trip!!!!
Emily Barber: Poor service, many of the beers were unavailable, a little overpriced, bathrooms are pretty cool and food is great. Hipster central
Time Out Chicago: The corn dog’s not the only cost-effective comestible at this busy hipster hangout; for $5, a Vienna dog with bold pepper jack, creamy garlic aioli and a crisp winter slaw is as satisfying. Read more.
